Enhanced CT and CT virtual endoscopy in diagnosis of heterotopic pancreas

Table 2 Detailed data from non-enhanced and enhanced computed tomography images of five of the six patients with heterotopic pancreas

		CT scanning		Enhanced CT scanning
		Lesion	Pancreas	Lesion1	Pancreas1
Case	Lesion dimensions (cm3)	CT value (Hu)	CT value (Hu)	CT value (Hu)	CT value (Hu)	Properties	Enhancement pattern
1	1.8 × 1.2 × 2.1	38.2	44.3	93.2	97.4	Solid	Homogeneous, highly enhanced
2	1.2 × 1.0 × 2.1	28.2	44.7	80	106.9	Solid	Homogeneous, slightly enhanced
3	2.0 × 1.3 × 2.0	6.9	41.5	13.5	95.5	Solid	Heterogeneous, slightly enhanced
5	1.7 × 1.9 × 2.0	–47.8	47.6	–35.8	93.4	Cystic with density of fat	Heterogeneous, slightly enhanced
6	1.9 × 1.3 × 1.0	43.3	47.1	29.1	106.6	Solid	Homogeneous, highly enhanced

Hu is the unit value for computed tomography (CT).

¹The CT values of both the lesion and the pancreas were measured during the arterial phase.
